C4YW

"You have breast cancer..."
Four life-changing words women hope they never hear — especially at a young age.

When a young woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, she can feel isolated and alone. Her psychosocial and medical issues are fundamentally different than those of older, post-menopausal women, as is the impact of her diagnosis on her family and friends. With the bulk of medical and psychological resources designed for women over 50, a younger woman may not know where to turn. More aggressive cancers, fertility, relationship issues, treatment-induced early menopause, living decades with this serious diagnosis — these are just a few ways a younger woman's breast cancer experience can be unique. To address these issues, Living Beyond Breast Cancer and Young Survival Coalition have created C4YW - an annual conference for young women affected by breast cancer and those who support them.

Commemorate Your C4YW Experience!

Air travel presents several considerations for individuals who have or are at risk of developing lymphedema, so our friends at LympheDIVAs created two commemorative C4YW compression sleeves and gauntlets. They’re perfect if you’re traveling to the conference by plane and a great way for you to spot fellow C4YW attendees at busy airports and in waiting areas as you prepare to board or pick up baggage. They make a great gift as well, because proceeds benefit C4YW!
